A Nairobi court on Monday increased the cash bail for Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi by Sh200,000 to Sh500,000 after he skipped a court session in April in a criminal case he is accused of forging academic papers.

The court ruled that the legislator was busy campaigning for his re-election as Kapseret MP instead of appearing in court.

Mr Sudi is accused of presenting forged KCSE certificate from Highway High School and a Diploma in Business Management from Kenya Institute of Management to the IEBC to be cleared to run in the 2013 polls.
